I think basically what you need is a slideshow creation program!. There should be some free ones on the net!. I've done a little work for a contractor/builder!. They use something like that in their office, it continually shows properties they've built!. I'm not sure if it's computer controlled but I assume so because the slideshows I create do not work on a TV!. Some "burning" software can also create slideshows that are suppose to "autoplay" in a regular DVD player!. I think Nero may be one of them!. Some of the slideshow creation software may also "burn" to DVD!. Hope that helps!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You're not giving enough detail!. How will the disk be played--with what machine!?

I think if you burn the JPG files onto a blank DVD, some (not all) desktop DVD player will play it in a loop, over and over!. No sound, I think!.

If it were to be played by a computer, it will automatically do that when you inserted a disk!.

There are programs you can actually make a fancy menu and sound bits and all that, but that is probably not what you need nor want at this time!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

He should have said "Loop" not "Reel!."

But that function is controlled by the computer during playback, not normally by how you record the DVD!.

Sounds to me like the guy doesn't know what he's talking about!.

Is this going to run on your computer or his!?

Good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com
